Cormier is going to fun to watch against some of the UFC guys. Barnett is a beast too, man can he take a pounding. I like them both. Fedor is going to ride back into Strikeforce because i think he has one fight left on contract to go and it will be against Cormier next.
Strikeforce: Heavyweight Grand Prix Finale, May 19th, San Jose, California
- Thread starter kickserv
- Start date
Good god Kickserv, you're an idiot. Your hatred towards Melendez, Shields, and the Diaz's is so insane that it's annoying as hell to read.
I said to myself "can't wait to go see kickserv bash Melendez" - after watching the fight. It would be like having GSP fight Matt Hughes and expect GSP to be motivated and super geeked for the fight. GSP is boring as is, could you imagine him fighting someone for the 3rd years after the rivalry is over and the guy isn't deserving of a fight? Melendez probably didn't even train hard. Probably took the fight lightly, and really didn't care as much as he should have.
It's like showing up at the park for a basketball game only to see you're playing against guys that you know that you'll beat even if you don't try hard. You just get the job done, get the game over with, and walk away.
So because he didn't go out and highlight KO Thomson(whom you act like is a #50 ranked fighter, but is actually a very good fighter) that he's terrible all the sudden. I see him in most rankings around the top 20. So, you expect the CHAMPION to go out and be motivated to fight someone who's ranked near 20? Melendez even said "couldn't release inner beast." Just tells me he wanted to do what he had to do to get the win, and go home.
The dude could've went out and highlight KO'd Thomson and you'd say "Melendez doesn't fight anyone, no way he's top 5 in the world....no wayyyy, so overrated, soooo overrated."

Barnett and Cormier both broke their hands, link below is picture of Barnetts. I know he lost, but guy took a beating and just kept coming for the most part. As long as he pisses clean, I would love to see him fight in UFC too...
